The 550 and 660 are very easy to grease. I had to put 45* zerks on the upper knuckle bushings of the 660 after i put the ITP wheels on, but with the stock wheels it was easy.
I just can't believe no one at yamaha ever tried to grease them before they put it into production

I replaced the zerks with 45 degree fittings. The upper ones worked great, the lowers touched the control arm. So I ordered flush mount zerks and installed them in the lowers. Still a pain, but at least i can grease them now.

The Wolverine is 1 year old today. I have just over 2200 miles on it this year. It's gotten to see some tough terrain thanks to Jesse, Terry, MikeD and some others. I still love it; it handles great, plenty of power and plenty of storage. The only issue I've had with it was an oil leak at the oil cooler lines that was an easy fix covered under warranty. I had another, worse oil leak that turned out to be a faulty oil filter gasket but that wasn't Yamaha's fault since it was a Purolator filter that I installed.
Anyone who is in the market for a reliable SxS that will climb like a billy goat and do it in comfort should definitely give the Wolverine a close look!
